SocialLite: "Nothing is tracked unless you accept"
SocialLite's cookie banner tells visitors "Nothing is tracked unless you accept." Its own public consent script, sociallite.app/consent.js, shows the banner has been switched off since 7 October 2026, and the advertising trackers load for every visitor. The note in the file reads: "BANNER TEMPORARILY DISABLED (operator decision, 2026-10-07): trackers load for all regions by default while the ad setup is adjusted."
- What loads for everyone: two Meta Pixel IDs, a Google Ads conversion tag and the Snapchat Pixel, each sending a page view.
- When the banner is on: the script records your page views and download clicks in your browser before you choose. If you then accept, it sends them to Meta and Google after the fact, including a custom Meta event called "RecoveredPageViews". If you choose "Essential only", the stored events are deleted.
- Its homepage says "No ads. No data sales. Ever." The pixels measure SocialLite's own advertising; they don't put ads in the app.
Under EU rules, websites need your consent before loading non-essential trackers such as advertising pixels. SocialLite's own banner code limits the consent flow to visitors in European time zones, and that flow is currently off.
Opal: advertising trackers, no banner
Opal's homepage loaded the Meta Pixel, Google Ads audience tags and DoubleClick on our visit from the Netherlands, along with Google Analytics, Google Optimize and Amplitude, and showed no cookie banner. Opal's app also carries Apple's "Data Used to Track You" label.
Why a website tells you something about the app
A company's website is the one place you can see its habits for yourself. If it sends your visit to Meta, Google and Snapchat before you've agreed to anything, that tells you how it thinks about your data. StillTabs' website sends nothing anywhere, and the app's App Store label is "Data Not Linked to You", with analytics off unless you turn them on.
StillTabs does not track you. Its App Store privacy label is "Data Not Linked to You", with nothing under "Data Used to Track You" or "Data Linked to You". Usage analytics are off by default and only start if you switch them on; even then they are tied to a random ID on your phone, never to your name or accounts, and never include what you watch, search or write. There are no ads and nothing is sold. Pages load straight from each platform: StillTabs runs no proxy, so it never sees your passwords, messages or what you browse. The privacy policy lists every event in full.
